Title: Where to get good deals for Realforce keycaps?
Post by: SNF on Mon, 07 October 2013, 17:27:56
Hi everyone,

I'm currently on a budget and I've already spent more than I should for these keyboards,  I now just need keycaps for my realforce and if anyone could guide me to a good site that has them for a good price that would be great.

I know elitekeyboards have some but they are currently out of stock and a bit pricy :3

Thanks.

If youre on a budget then you dont need something that serves no purpose. Save your cash young padawan

This man speaks the truth, it's easy to get wrapped up after seeing all the cool boards here but if you can't afford it right now just give it a break till your situation improves. Topre keycaps are difficult to come by at times so it may pay to watch the classifieds as well.

EK is one of the few places where you can get custom Topre keycaps, and they are all expensive.

well the thing is, cosmetics is usually the last thing I worry about, I'm usually fine with stock however I bought my realforce with no keycaps :x

None at all?

That would make it kinda difficult to use.

In that case you're probably up for $100 something from EK to get started.

Yeah I purchased this keyboard with just purple and yellow WASD keys and a few modifiers, the majority is missing lol

It's ok though because im in the process of piecing together a new pc and Im hoping to find some keycaps by then.

Also hoping to find a cheaper place to buy some, EK would be my last resort :3

I hope you got a discount due to the missing keycaps!  These things are not cheap.

Apart from EK, your next best bet would probably be to see if anyone is selling a set in Classifieds.

And once you have contributed 60 fun and informative posts, you can post your own WTB thread :)
